Some embodiments of the present application provide a headset.

Referring to FIG. 1, FIG. 2 and FIG. 9, in an embodiment, the headset includes a headband 100 and two earphones 200 respectively connected to two ends of the headband 100, wherein the earphone 200 includes an earphone housing 220, an earmuff 230, and a universal adjuster 210; the earphone housing 220 is connected to one end of the headband 100; the earmuff 230 is provided with a sounder therein; the universal adjuster 210 is connected between the earphone housing 220 and the earmuff 230 and allows the earmuff 230 to be arbitrarily adjusted relative to the earphone housing 220.

Based on this structural design, due that the connecting ring 222 of the earphone housing 220 and the outer end of the earmuff 230 are connected by the universal adjuster 210, such that during the actual using of the headset, the earmuffs 230 can achieve the universal adjusting relative to the earphone housing 220 by the deformation adjusting of the universal adjuster 210, thereby effectively improving the fit of the earmuffs 230 and the human ears, the user's comfort when wearing the headset is greatly increased.

Referring to FIG. 1 and FIG. 9, in an embodiment, an upper end of the earphone housing 220 is connected to the headband 100, and a lower end is provided with a connection ring 222 disposed in ring shape, an outer end of the earmuff 230 away from an ear is located in a space enclosed by an inner annular surface of the connecting ring 222; and the universal adjuster 210 is connected between the connecting ring 222 and an outer end of the earmuff 230, and configured to allow the earmuff 230 to be adjusted relative to the earphone housing 220. It should be specifically described that the connecting ring 222 is an empty frame, and the universal adjuster 210 is placed in the empty frame. In other words, in the embodiment, an outer annular surface of the annular universal adjuster 210 is directly attached to the inner annular surface of the connecting ring 222, and the inner annular surface of the universal adjuster 210 is also located in the space enclosed by the inner annular surface of the connecting ring 222.

In an embodiment, the universal adjuster 210 is made of at least one of a group of an elastic silicone rubber, an elastic rubber, an elastic plastic, an elastic fabric and an elastic film material, for example, the material of the universal adjuster 210 may preferably be a rubber ring or a silicone ring that is low in cost and is easy to be made. Thus, when the earmuff 230 needs to be angle-adjusted with respect to the earphone housing 220, it can be fully utilized by the elastic stretching or recovery performance of the elastic material, and the angular adjusting is very convenient. Herein, in order to maintain the uniform elastic performance of the universal adjuster 210, the universal adjuster 210 is preferably made of a same elastic soft material. Of course, in other embodiments, the universal adjuster 210 may also be made of a variety of elastic materials according to special design requirements, and the size and the like are designed as needed.

Referring to FIG. 1, FIG. 5 and FIG. 9, in an embodiment, the universal adjuster 210 is a universal adjusting film 240 made of an elastic film material, and the universal adjusting film 240 is annularly disposed, and an outer annular surface of the universal adjusting film 240 is connected to an inner annular surface of the connecting ring 222, and an inner annular surface of the universal adjusting film 240 is connected to an outer edge of an outer end of the earmuff 230. During the wearing of the headset, when the earmuff 230 needs to adjust the degree of fit with the human ears, the direction towards the other earphone 200 is disposed as an inner side, the partial film at the corresponding position where the earmuff 230 moving outwardly is elastically compressed, and the partial film at the corresponding position where the earmuff 230 moving inwardly is elastically stretched, so that no matter which direction the earmuff 230 is adjusted, the corresponding position of the universal adjusting film 240 will change correspondingly, thereby the universal adjusting is smoothly achieved.

In an embodiment, the universal adjusting film 240 is connected to both the connecting ring 222 and the earmuff 230 by an overmolding sealing, the assembly and manufacturing process are very convenient; and a region between the outer annular surface and the inner annular surface of the universal adjusting film is annularly disposed in a concave-convex three-dimensional, which can effectively increase the adjusting amount of the universal adjusting film 240, such that the universal adjusting of the earmuff 230 relative to the earphone housing 230 is more flexible.

In an embodiment, the outer annular surface of the universal adjusting film 240 and the inner annular surface of the connecting ring 222 is welded by ultrasonic sealing, and the inner annular surface of the universal adjusting film 240 and the outer edge of the outer end of the earmuff 230 is welded by ultrasonic sealing. Of course, in other embodiments, the universal adjusting film 240 can also be connected by means of adhesive bonding or the like, but in the embodiment, the ultrasonic sealing welding method has higher production efficiency and better connection effect. Herein, the arrangement of the sealing connection can make the connection between the universal adjusting film 240 and the earphone housing 220 and the earmuff 230 more compact on the one hand, and it is not easy to cause the angular adjusting to be unsuccessful due to the detachment of the universal adjusting film 240; on the other hand, the sealing connection can also protect the important components inside the earmuff 230, prevent water and dust from entering, and the appearance of the headphones is more simple and beautiful.

Referring to FIG. 5 and FIG. 6, in an embodiment, the outer annular surface of the universal adjusting film 240 is provided with a first limiting portion, and the inner annular surface of the connecting ring 222 is provided with a second limiting portion configured to be cooperated and connected with the first limiting portion, and an outer edge of the inner annular surface of the universal adjusting film extends outward to form a connecting flange 242. It can be understood that the cooperating and connecting of the first limiting portion and the second limiting portion can make the positions of the universal adjusting film 240 and the connecting ring 222 relatively fixed, thereby facilitating the forming connection, and further improving the connection tightness between the universal adjusting film 240 and the connecting ring 222. Specifically, in the embodiment, the first limiting portion is an annular limiting groove 241 disposed on the outer annular surface of the universal adjusting film 240, and the second limiting portion is an annular limiting rib 225 protruded from the inner annular surface of the connecting ring 222. However, the present design is not limited thereto. In other embodiments, the annular limiting rib 225 may be disposed on the outer annular surface of the universal adjusting film 240, and the annular limiting groove 241 is disposed on the inner annular surface of the connecting ring 222; alternatively, the annular limiting rib 225 may be replaced by a plurality of circumferentially spaced projections, and correspondingly, an adapted groove is provided on the outer annular surface of the universal adjusting film 240, which is not limited herein. In addition, the design of the connecting flange 242 can increase the effective connection area between the universal adjusting film 240 and the outer edge of the outer cover 231, thereby facilitating the reinforcement of the connection and the tightness between the two.

In an embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1, the outer end surface of the connecting flange 242 and the outer end surface of the earmuff 230 are in a same horizontal plane, such that the appearance of the headset is more concise and beautiful, and it is difficult to accumulate dust and the like in the gap. In addition, a region between the outer annular surface and the inner annular surface of the universal adjusting film 240 is recessed inwardly to form an annular inner groove 243. The inner groove 243 is designed to effectively increase the adjusting amount of the universal adjusting film 240, such that the universal adjusting of the earmuff 230 relative to the earphone housing 220 is more flexible. Of course, in other embodiments, the region between the outer annular surface and the inner annular surface of the universal adjusting film 240 may also be outwardly convex, but in the present embodiment, the design of recessed inwardly can prevent the universal adjusting film 240 from wearing and damaging when being designed outwardly convex.

In an embodiment, the connecting ring 222 is disposed coaxially with the earmuff 230, and the universal adjusting film 240 is uniform along the width of each radial direction. In this way, the adjusting amount of the universal adjusting film 240 in all directions is uniform, thereby facilitating the universal adjusting of the earmuff 230 relative to the earphone housing 220, thereby improving the comfort of the headset wearing.

Referring to FIG. 13, in another embodiment, the universal adjuster 210 may also be a plurality of springs connected between the earphone housing 220 and the earmuff 230. The specific number of springs is four, with two springs being disposed relatively coaxially, and the other two springs being also disposed relatively coaxially; and the axes of the two opposite springs are perpendicular to the axes of the other two opposite springs. In this way, not only the structural design is simple, it is easy to assemble, and the angle and position adjusting of the up, down, left and right directions can be well taken into consideration at the same time, and the arranging of the opposite springs disposed coaxially can make the springs reduce the useless elastic moment and deformation as much as possible during the elastic deformation, thereby increasing the life of the springs. Of course, in other embodiments, it is also possible to set a suitable number of springs according to actual design needs, but it is preferable to set the number to an even number to obtain a better balance of adjusting force.

In an embodiment, at least one end of the spring is pivotally connected to the earphone housing 220 or the earmuff 230. Thus, the multi-axial rotation of the earmuff 230 relative to the earphone housing 220 can be achieved, and a better angle and position adjusting effect can be obtained with the cooperating of the elastically deformed of the springs.
